An eminent philosopher critical of mass migration has been banned from entering Britain after the Home Office ruled his presence would go against ‘the public good’.

Renaud Camus, the French novelist and writer, was barred from travelling to the UK later this month to speak on immigration.

The 78-year-old academic has warned that unchecked immigration will lead to demographic replacement of Europe’s natural populations.

In an email the Home Office informed Mr Camus that he had been denied the electronic travel authorization (ETA) needed to enter Britain.

‘Your presence in the UK is not considered to be conducive to the public good,’ the email read.

Mr Camus told The Telegraph that ‘of all the European governments guilty’ of allowing unchecked migration, ‘the British government is one of the guiltiest’.

‘No wonder it does not want me to speak,’ Mr Camus added.

Vauban Books, the independent publisher of Camus’ work in English, said: ‘The decision to bar Renaud Camus from the UK is only further confirmation that that country has abandoned the most basic principles of liberal democracy.

‘Camus is one of our greatest living writers and will be remembered as such by posterity. The Starmer regime, by contrast, will be remembered – if it’s remembered at all – only for its serial betrayals and profound mediocrity.

‘Here as elsewhere, it has inadvertently shown just how precious Camus’ voice is, now more than ever.’

It is understood that Mr Camus was to deliver a speech at an event organized by the nationalist and anti-immigration Homeland Party. One of the party’s policies is the re-migration, or encouraged mass emigration, of unintegrated and illegal migrants.

Mr Camus himself has been branded a conspiracy theorist for his view that mass immigration will lead to the replacement of settled populations.

The denial of his ETA comes amid a growing debate over free speech in the UK, particularly on the issue of immigration.

The Government has pledged to clamp down on what it claims are people ‘pushing harmful and hateful beliefs.’

Mr Camus last year claimed that Amazon censored one of his books.

After being shunned by mainstream publishers, the French author attempted to share his latest volume on Amazon’s Kindle service, which provides a way for writers to self-publish and circumvent the literary establishment.

However, it emerged that the service uses artificial intelligence technology to review the content of submitted documents.

Mr Camus received a message saying his book, titled The Great Replacemen,t was blocked after it was assessed through the Kindle screening process.

The company said the block on the publication was an error. After being contacted by Mr Camus’ lawyers, Amazon said the book would be reinstated. Mr Camus alleged that the block was an attempt to ‘censor’ his work through a ‘dystopian screening of literature’. TELL US WHAT YOU THINK
